< Rut 1 >

1 A kwanakin da mahukunta suke mulki an yi yunwa a ƙasar, sai wani mutum daga Betlehem a Yahuda tare da matarsa da’ya’yansu maza biyu, suka tafi su yi zama na ɗan lokaci a ƙasar Mowab.
And it came to pass in the days when the judges judged, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem-judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
2 Sunan mutumin, Elimelek ne, sunan matarsa Na’omi; sunayen’ya’yan nan nasu biyu, su ne Malon da Kiliyon. Su Efratawa ne daga Betlehem ta Yahuda. Suka kuwa tafi Mowab suka zauna a can.
And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
3 To, Elimelek mijin Na’omi ya rasu, aka bar ta da’ya’yanta maza biyu.
And Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died, and she was left, and her two sons.
4 Suka auri mata Mowabawa, sunan ɗaya Orfa ɗayan kuma Rut. Bayan sun zauna a can kamar shekara goma,
And they took wives for them of the women of Moab. The name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth, and they dwelt there about ten years.
5 sai Malon da Kiliyon suka mutu su ma, aka kuma bar Na’omi babu’ya’yanta maza biyu da kuma mijinta.
And Mahlon and Chilion died, both of them, and the woman was left of her two children and of her husband.
6 Sa’ad da ta ji a Mowab cewa Ubangiji ya zo don yă taimaki mutanensa ta wurin tanada musu da abinci, sai Na’omi tare da surukanta suka shirya su koma gida daga can.
Then she arose with her daughters-in-law that she might return from the country of Moab, for she had heard in the country of Moab how that Jehovah had visited his people in giving them bread.
7 Tare da surukanta biyu suka bar inda suka zauna suka kuma kama hanya da za tă komar da su zuwa ƙasar Yahuda.
And she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her, and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah.
8 Sai Na’omi ta ce wa surukanta biyu, “Ku koma, kowannenku, zuwa gidan mahaifiyarta. Bari Ubangiji yă nuna muku alheri yadda kuka nuna wa matattun nan da kuma gare ni.
And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each of you to her mother's house. Jehovah deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.
9 Bari Ubangiji yă sa kowannenku ta sami hutu a gidan wani miji.” Sa’an nan ta sumbace su suka kuma yi kuka da ƙarfi
Jehovah grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voices, and wept.
10 suka ce mata, “Za mu tafi tare da ke zuwa ga mutanenki.”
And they said to her, No, but we will return with thee to thy people.
11 Amma Na’omi ta ce, “Ku koma gida,’ya’yana mata. Don me za ku tafi tare da ni? Zan ƙara samun waɗansu’ya’ya maza da za su zama mazanku ne?
And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters. Why will ye go with me? Have I yet sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
12 Ku koma gida’ya’yana mata; na tsufa ainun da zan sāke samun wani miji. Ko ma na yi tsammani har yanzu ina da bege, ko ma na sami miji a wannan dare na kuma haifi’ya’ya maza,
Turn again, my daughters. Go your way, for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, I have hope. If I should even have a husband tonight, and should also bear sons,
13 za ku jira sai sun yi girma? Za ku ci gaba da kasance babu aure saboda su? A’a,’ya’yana mata. Ina da baƙin ciki ƙwarai fiye da ku, domin hannun Ubangiji ya yi gāba da ni!”
would ye therefore delay till they were grown? Would ye therefore stay from having husbands? No, my daughters, for it grieves me much for your sakes, for the hand of Jehovah has gone forth against me.
14 A kan wannan suka sāke ɓarke da kuka. Sa’an nan Orfa ta sumbaci surukarta ta yi bankwana, amma Rut ta manne mata.
And they lifted up their voices, and wept again. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.
15 Sai Na’omi ta ce, “Duba,’yar’uwanki ta koma zuwa ga mutanenta da kuma allolinta. Ki koma tare da ita.”
And she said, Behold, thy sister-in-law has gone back to her people, and to her god. Return thou after thy sister-in-law.
16 Rut Amma Rut ta amsa, “Kada ki roƙe ni in bar ki ko in koma daga gare ki. Inda za ki, zan tafi, kuma inda za ki zauna, zan zauna. Mutanenki, za su zama mutanena kuma Allahnki, zai zama Allahna.
And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, and to return from following after thee, for where thou go, I will go, and where thou lodge, I will lodge. Thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.
17 Inda za ki mutu zan mutu, zan mutu a can kuma za a binne ni. Bari Ubangiji ya hukunta ni da tsanani sosai, in wani abu in ba mutuwa ce ta raba ke da ni ba.”
Where thou die, I will die, and there I will be buried. Jehovah do so to me, and more also, if anything but death parts thee and me.
18 Sa’ad da Na’omi ta gane cewa Rut ta ƙudura tă tafi tare da ita, sai ta daina nema tă koma.
And when she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking to her.
19 Saboda haka matan biyu suka ci gaba da tafiya sai da suka isa Betlehem. Da suka isa Betlehem, sai dukan garin ya ruɗe saboda su, matan kuwa suka ce, “Na’omi ce wannan kuwa?”
So those two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they came to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and the women said, Is this Naomi?
20 Ta ce musu, “Kada ku kira ni Na’omi. Ku kira ni Mara gama Maɗaukaki ya sa raina ya yi ɗaci sosai.
And she said to them, Call me not Naomi. Call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
21 In tafi cikakke, amma Ubangiji ya dawo da ni ba kome. Don me kuke kirana Na’omi? Ubangiji ya wahalshe ni, Maɗaukaki ya kawo mini masifa.”
I went out full, and Jehovah has brought me home again empty. Why do ye call me Naomi, seeing Jehovah has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?
22 Na’omi fa ta koma daga Mowab tare da Rut mutuniyar Mowab, surukarta, suka kai Betlehem a lokacin da ake fara girbin sha’ir.
So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned out of the country of Moab. And they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
